"1Gad you’re far better than most Nigerian artists especially Burna Boy, and you do better music than most of them do. It's just because they have links."

@Madera001:
"It's a popular opinion in the Nigerian Music Scene that money is everything, even above talent and hard work. Thank God for the money bags and the guys with the funny money, Nigerian music might not have gotten this far if not for them. Even MI Abaga acknowledged this."
